VENDOR GUIDE

Vendor's attention is drawn to the ThoroughBid Conditions of Sale, which are accessible via the website at the bottom of the page.

What you will need to register an account and enter a horse:

To register an account

To enter a horse

•            Owners bank details, contact details, and VAT registration details

Step 1: Follow this link ThoroughBid | Online auction, or type  www.thoroughbid.co.uk into your internet search bar.

Step 2: On the main homepage, click “register” . This will take you to a page where you can enter your details and set up an account. You will receive a code which will be text to your phone and then an email to verify you are a real person! If you don’t receive either of them, first check your junk/spam mail (email) or give us a call . Once this has been done we will then verify you from our end, and you will be able to enter your horse.

Step 3: Once you have an account and are logged on; click the “enter a horse” located tab along the top of the page.

Step 4: Select the type of horse you are entering in the sale and the type of entry you wish to have (detailed below) from the drop-down boxes. Click Next.

Step 5: Begin entering your horse’s name. After you have typed the first few letters, it will show you a list of horses with the same lettering and you should select yours. It will then fill in the known information about the horse ie pedigree, DOB etc.

Step 6: You will have to manually fill in colour, height, and microchip number. If your horse is eligible for any bonus schemes such as GBB please enter this in the bottom box (these can be important selling points). If the horse’s weight is known this can also be filled in. Click Next

Step 7 : Next you will be asked for catalogue details. You should fill in who is consigning the horse (all boxes must be filled in) , where it is consigned from (where potential purchasers can view the horse) and select all the options which apply to the horse ( box walker etc). Click Next.

Step 8: Now you must fill in the horse’s owner details. If you own the horse, you can click “fill in with account information” and it will fill your details in for you. Please ensure banking details are correct as we will use them for payment.

Step 9: Finally, you must select who you are in relation to the horse (Consigner for example) and tick the relevant boxes.

Step 10: Click finish and your horse has been entered.

I have attached a PDF to this email ; this will tell you which documents you will require in order for the horse to be sold at a ThoroughBid auction. This can also be found on the downloads section of the website.

To enter another horse, just click “enter a horse” again, and repeat steps 4 to 10.

Vendors are reminded to disclose any and ALL vices, unsoundness, and other important veterinary information (including wind operations)  at time of the entry. (As referred to clause 9.1 in Schedule 1, Terms of Sale, of ThoroughBid’s Term and Conditions).

Vendors attention is drawn to the documentation in the downloads section,  'Documents Required from Sellers'  which are required for each lot as described in Schedule 3, of ThoroughBid’s Terms and Conditions.

These will also be emailed to you upon entry.

All vets documents MUST be presented to ThoroughBid by the day before the sale. Whilst we understand that lab results for CEM and EVA tests can be delayed , we reserve the right to withdraw any horse who does not present the correct documentation by 24 hrs prior to the slae. 

The details and descriptions of all lots in sales are provided by the Vendors who are solely responsible for their accuracy. Pedigrees will be provided by ThoroughBid from Arion Pedigrees LTD, it is also the Vendor's responsibilty to check the accuracy of these.

All reserves will be the minimum selling price. Vendors will be asked for a guide price prior to the sale in order to introduce the horse at an appropriate starting price. Vendors therefore must protect their horse to the price they want.

Bidding will open at the designated time specified on the auction page. Lots then finish at two minute intervals from the disignated closing time. Any lot that is bid on in the last two minutes will extend that lots time by two minutes. That extension will continue until no one bids in the last two minutes. 

All vendors are reminded that they must make every reasonable effort to allow purchasers to view/ vet horses from catalogue launch up until time of sale.

When the Vendor is the highest bidder for their lot and wishes the lot to be listed as "Bought In" rather than "Unsold". Under these circumstances vendors will be charged 5% commission on the hammer price.

If the vendor is the highest bidder they will recieve the purchase confirmation form, on which they can select bought back or not sold.

This is a function for re-offering unsold lots for a period of 14 days post sale day. Potential purchasers can submit an offer to secure an unsold horse subject to their offer being accepted by the vendor. 

Any horse sold outside of this process during the 14 day timeframe, will be subject to 10% vendor commission .

Sales proceeds will be available from the 7th working day after hammer fall (subject to there being no disputes).
